The Great Central Market 



The market was decidedly weak March 

 6 and 7, but on Friday a large number 

 of big orders for cheap stock for special 

 sales served to clean up the accumula- 

 tion in fair shape, and put a more en- 

 couraging aspect on affairs. Monday 

 always is a day which gives the whole- 

 salers high hopes for the week. Ke- 

 cently Tuesday and Wednesday have 

 dashed these hopes, but the indications 

 now are that the approach of Easter 

 will have a stimulating effect. It may 

 not be that the demand will at once 

 increase appreciably, but already a re- 

 duction in supply is noted. It is stated 

 that this is due entirely to crops having 

 passed their height, but for the next 

 fortnight it may be expected that grow- 

 ers will be bringing in nothing more 

 than is necessary. They will, without 



doubt, do what they safely may to ac- 

 cumulate supplies for Easter. 



Beauties are not abundant, but there 

 is no great demand for them. While 

 rose crops are slightly less than a week 

 ago, the supply of better grades is 

 slightly ahead of the demand, for the 

 principal call seems to be for cheaper 

 stock in quantity. The quality of roses 

 is excellent with practically all growers. 



The receipts of carnations are not so 

 heavy this week as last, but are fully 

 equal to all requirements. One whole- 

 saler stated that last week he handled 

 more carnations than in any week in 

 June last year. It is no wonder cheap 

 sales are made. The crop of splits is 

 lighter now and quality generally is 

 all that one could ask. Enchantress has 

 brought no more than good white in 

 the last week and the prospects are that 

 white the latter part of this week, for 

 dyeing for St. Patrick's day, will com- 

 mand a premium. The dealers in dye all 

 report a large business. 



The receipts of violets have fallen off, 

 but quality also has retrograded. It 

 looks as though the sepson will end 

 shortly after Easter. Prices are just a 

 trifle better than last week; the top 

 prices no higher, but the low prices not 

 quite so bad. 



The crops of Eomans and Paper 

 Whites are out of the way earlier this 

 year than usual. Few now are seen. No 

 great quantities of daffodils or jonquils 

 obstruct the market. Callas sometimes 

 go to waste. There now are plenty of 

 longiflorum. Sweet peas are doing well. 

 Valley is abundant. Some fancy migno- 

 nette is selling well. 



(ireen goods would better be ordered a 

 day in advance, if possible. 



Easter Prospects. 



The wholesalers have been busy can- 

 vassing the Easter prospects. They find 

 that most of the lilies will be ready; in 

 fact, there are more plants that are a 

 little bit early than there are which need
